Chat Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of AI agent conversations across all your IDEs.
How It Works
ADHDev connects to your IDE via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and reads the AI agent's chat panel. Messages are streamed to the dashboard in real-time.
Supported Chat Sources
Native IDE Chat
For IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf, ADHDev reads the built-in AI chat panel directly.
Extension Chat (Agent Streams)
For VS Code extensions like Cline and Roo Code, ADHDev discovers and monitors extension webviews independently. Multiple extensions can be monitored simultaneously, each appearing as its own tab.
CLI Chat
For CLI agents (Gemini, Claude, Codex), the full terminal output is captured via PTY.
